Where is your Linux home?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Jason W:
TC is the only one I actually use, but I have an Etch install on one of my systems.  I like to keep another distro or two installed to test packages with. 

curaga:
It's my own mix of LFS on most comps. DSL on the oldest laptop, and both DSL and TC on an usb stick.

I don't think of myself as a control freak, but *definitely* want total control over what happens in my computer. What takes space, what I want there, how I want it there. DSL converted me from Xfce to JWM, and I dare to say my systems outperform even Gentoo ;)

Hacking on TC is great fun. It's something I've always wanted to be doing.

Juanito:
old desktop -> dsl and occasionally lfs/blfs
laptop -> tc from usb stick
ps3 -> ydl, but I'm at the xorg stage of a multi-lib clfs build

If we ever want to open a new target audience for tc, cross-compiling for ps3 would be the way to go...

MethodOne:
On my laptop, I dual-boot Arch and Windows Vista.  My desktop has Windows XP, Ubuntu (used for building Haiku for another partition on the same drive), and Fedora on different drives in a mobile rack.  My Power Mac G4 Sawtooth is running Mac OS X Tiger, but will be replacing it with Debian Lenny once Apple stops providing security updates for Tiger.

florian:
I had a top-notch P2 from 1999 for which DSL was a perfect fit but it died recently. Now my main computer is a cheap laptop I bought in 2003. Now, I have those five distro/OS installed there.

* Windows XP
I boot that one occasionally to play two videogames I like.

* Ubuntu
Gnome and many installed applications are painfully slow! Even opening a terminal feels sluggish! And there are so many processes running which I don't know what they really do. It makes me feel stupid.
This whole dumbed-down experience is quite awful.
I'm planning to replace this entirely with U-lite ( http://u-lite.org/ formerlly know as Ubuntulite),
which adds the LXDE environment on top a basic Ubuntu CLI install.

* Damn Small Linux 4.4.x
My favorite distro so far (and my default GRUB entry).
simplicity, elegance, raw speed, power :)))
And the distro has always got better over time.

* Slitaz
This one is new for me as I installed it beginning of this week. http://www.slitaz.org/
Mini distro, runs fully in RAM, LXDE environment, elegant defaults, and impressive package mgmt system, and a lot of apps. Only had a brief look at it, but I have to say it seems nice. More exploration needed.

* Tiny Core Linux
I installed Tinycore on Tuesday. I like it a lot so far.
And hey it's the same ppl and somewhat same philosohpy than DSL, so it's easy to feel at home.

I'd like to see how much Tinycore could be completed by great tiny-weeny clever X/FLTK-only apps in order to create a really productive micro desktop. This is the direction in which I want to push! I'm fed up with bloat, GTK2 and dependency hell :))
